I do love the chalkboard painted walls in many homes. It's a clever and visual way to showcase black and creativity in your small space. When I spotted this leaning black board in a wooden frame, I thought it was a neat take on this. Fab!

I had some trouble using chalk board paint over a regular wall. It never accepted the chalk as well as a "real" slate chalk board like we used to have in school. I like the real thing much better, like the one shown in the picture.

Thanks for all the nice comments! :) I really am liking this idea and think I'll try it in my own small space. I don't really want to commit to a whole wall of chalkboard paint. I'll post it if I end up doing this project :)
